The first reaction of everyone to a novel theory, especially in their own field of study, must be skepticism, and after doubt, questioning is ensuing. As for acceptance or even appreciation, that's the last thing.

Looking at the reaction of the audience, Lu Zhou knew that he had already succeeded halfway.

He was sure that at least half of the people had already understood the theory of group construction.

As for the remaining half, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not.

He only needs to make sure that a quarter of the people will eventually understand it, and that the reviewers who will be peer-reviewing his paper can understand it, and the core purpose of the presentation will be achieved.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou flipped the PPT to the next page.

Next, the Goldbach conjecture was demonstrated.

But at this point, he was much more relaxed.

When a tool is born, fulfilling its mission is just a matter of course.

And then, all he had to do was do that.

Affecting the eyeballs and heartbeats of all the audience, the laser pointer in Lu Zhou's hand pointed to the curtain, and the PPT continued to be screened.

[Let N denote a sufficiently large even number, and let Px(1,1) be the number of prime ps satisfying N=p1+p2.] Cn={∏p|x,p2}(p-1)/(p-2){∏p2}(1-1/(p-1)^2), and let the finite group G=......]

【……】

As this phase began, the atmosphere in the lecture hall was clearly pushed to the top of the pitch.

This atmosphere brewed in the silence of the audience, in the tip of every pen that had stalled on the notepad. When the crowd method penetrated into the heart of Goldbach's conjecture, all the listeners held their breath for fear of missing out on a single detail.

Staring intently at the curtain on the stage, Maynard's pupils contracted slightly, and he muttered to himself.

"Bombieri's theorem! I see...... He really did it, incredible. ”

With the finishing touch, all the foreshadowing is taken apart, and the context of each step is clear.

It was as if the fog in front of me had been cleared, and a sudden enlightenment had been made.

As an expert in the field of prime numbers, he has the most profound and intuitive feelings.

Although, this moment was not what he was expecting......

Evan, who was sitting next to him, looked confused.

From the time of group construction, this young man from the United Kingdom had already given up on the treatment and began to wait silently for the final result.

Now listening to the teacher's statement, it is probably proven?

Thinking of this, Evan couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Just a few days ago, he took the post of his mentor on his personal blog, talked to the people on the forum, and vowed that the report would eventually become a joke.

As a result, it seems that it is still me who hurts my face......

Sitting on the other side of the lecture hall, Helfgot, who had been sitting there without moving, closed the notebook in his hand, and a hint of approval appeared on his face.

Before he came, he had read Lu Zhou's paper at least ten times, and he wrote down all the problems in it on a notepad one by one, ready to wait for the question session to ask.

But now it seems that this little book probably won't come in handy.

Those things that he thought were problematic had been answered to his satisfaction.

Not only did Helfgort get the answer he wanted, but Lu Zhou, who was standing on the podium, also got what he wanted.

From that pair of eyes, he felt the affirmation from his peers.

Finally, he made it to the last step.

【…… Obviously, we have Px(1,1)≥P(x,x^{1/16})-(1/2)∑Px(x,p,x)-Q/2-x^(log4)...... （30）】

【…… From Eq. (30), Lemma 8, Lemma 9, and Lemma 10, it can be proved that Theorem 1 holds. 】

[Proof completed.] 】

The PPT is frozen on the last page, and the silence in the lecture hall is also frozen at the last second.

This solemn silence lasted until Lu Zhou spoke.

After forty minutes of talking, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and announced in a voice with a hint of hoarseness: "The proof of Goldbach's conjecture has ended here. I think I've proven this proposition. ”

The audience didn't keep him waiting.

Or rather, they have been waiting too long for this sentence.

The letter from Moscow to Berlin in 1742 spanned the Austro-Prussian War and two and a half centuries of wind and rain.

After the efforts of countless generations of scholars, he has finally completed the final stick in his hands.

Counting the treasures harvested from it, human civilization has gained too much.

At the moment when his words fell, the lecture hall was already filled with applause.

And, it lasted for a long, long time......

……

To Lu Zhou's surprise, he originally thought that the real challenge would be in the question session, but the question session turned out to be very relaxed.

A few of the biggest names in the analytic number theory world asked a few simple questions, and then sat back. The question session, which he expected to run out of time, turned out to be all resolved within the 20 minutes he had set aside.

At the end of the presentation, Peter Goddard, director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, took a bottle of champagne and walked up to the podium and gave Lu Zhou a warm hug.

The mathematical physicist, known for his research on string theory, was awarded the Dirac Medal, the highest honor in the field of mathematical physics.

"Congratulations, Dr. Lu Zhou," patting Lu Zhou's shoulder, the gray-haired Goddard smiled and stuffed the champagne into his arms, "Take it, this victory champagne belongs to you!" ”

Taking the champagne, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly and said modestly: "Isn't there still a peer review?" ”

It always feels like it's too early to pop the champagne.

However, Goddard didn't think so, and said with a smile: "Of course, the Annals of Mathematics will organize a six-member jury to independently review your paper according to the minutes of today's meeting. However, it is a Princeton tradition to open the champagne after the presentation. It's Princeton's congratulations, or you can take it as a form of pressure. ”

To be precise, this is the tradition of Oxford and Cambridge. But Princeton is one of the few Oxford-esque universities in the United States, and Goddard's Ph.D. was completed at Cambridge, so it's not an exaggeration to call it traditional.

The review of a world-class mathematical problem can be quick or slow, depending on the complexity of the proof process and the prover's own understanding of the process they are writing about.

During this time, Lu Zhou had to answer all the questions from the jury.

Therefore, this champagne is no longer a congratulation, but also a spur to encourage him to persevere until the end.

Because if he gave up, it meant that he had to return the champagne.

It's just a few hundred dollars, but no one wants to do it.

Holding the champagne in his hand, Lu Zhou felt the pressure from the fruits of victory.

Goddard smiled encouragingly at him and patted him on the shoulder, "Open it, the glory is yours!" ”

With the encouragement from the dean, Lu Zhou no longer hesitated.

Considering the 1 in 10,000 possibility of defeat is not what a winner should do, at least not at this moment, standing on the podium.

What's more, his proof has been affirmed by the "higher civilization".

He was confident that he would be able to answer all the questions the jury had about the paper.

Now, all he needs to do is to be more confident in his research results. Let his parents, his alma mater and Princeton, and even his homeland, be proud of the glory he has achieved in this moment.

Foam erupted from the mouth of the bottle, and the people sitting in the front row were more or less sprayed with some foam, but no one complained, but laughed.

The people behind all looked enviously, wanting to take a dip in the joy of the victor, but because they were too far away and the aisle was too crowded, they couldn't get closer.

Reporters standing on both sides of the lecture hall recorded this historic moment with their cameras and tried to get first-hand accounts through the crowd.

Maybe tomorrow, Lu Zhou, champagne in hand, will be on the cover of Time magazine, just like Wiles.

But now, Lu Zhou didn't pay attention to those inconsequential things.

He swore that it was the most delicious wine he had ever drunk.

The taste is extraordinarily sweet and sweet.

It's intoxicating......
